Rhaegar Fought Valiantly, Rhaegar Fought Nobly, Rhaegar Fought Honorably. And Rhaegar Died.

↳ Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.

real talk tho, if the lannisters’ official words are “here me roar” and their unofficial thing is “a lannister always pays his debts” the equivalent to house targaryen’s “fire and blood” is probably “can’t stop won’t stop.”

I doubt Shaggydog is dead. Shaggydog was the most powerful, mental and largest of the Stark direwolves, and as big and powerful as Greatjon Umber is, I doubt he could have beaten him when he was trying to protect Rickon. I also don’t buy the Umbers and the Karstarks going onto fucking Ramsey’s side - they put a ton of emphasis on the fact that they were so loyal to the Starks, and what about “The North Remembers”?Greatjon literally knelt at Robb’s feet, so to go hand his little brother over to Ramsey? It makes no sense. Also the fact that Rickon - the kid who was always described as being wild and perfectly matched with Shaggydog because they were both nuts - barely struggled, didn’t say anything and barely winced at seeing “Shaggydog”’s head being brought in makes me question the entire thing. Also - the head of supposed Shaggydog was pretty small, more the size of a normal wolf, never mind the biggest direwolf in the show. I think, because of all of this, the Umbers and maybe the Karstarks are planning to overthrow Ramsey, mainly because he’s a dick, but also because of his father. Roose Bolton, as everybody knows, was incredibly smart and knew how to play the game of thrones, but Ramsey (as well as being a bastard) is power-hungry and impulsive, and doesn’t think beyond what is happening to him at that moment. I think they knew they couldn’t beat out Roose, because he was too clever, but Ramsey…that’s a whole other ball park. So frankly I think this is either one big plot, and if not…it’s just shitty writing.

He remembered Winterfell as he had last seen it. Not as grotesquely huge as Harrenhal, nor as solid and impregnable to look at as Storm’s End, yet there had been a great strength in those stones, a sense that within those walls a man might feel safe.
